Used in print:

(James A. Ibers et al., "Proton magnetic resonance...)

The **f layers are stacked normal to the [ 111 ] axis with the lower oxygens of one layer directly above the upper oxygens of the neighboring lower layer , in such a manner that the repeat is every three layers .

3. layer [ n ] a relatively thin sheetlike expanse or region lying over or under another

Used in print:

(Cornell H. Mayer, "Radio Emission of the Moon...)

The results of present observations of the thermal radio_emission of the moon are consistent with the very low thermal conductivity of the surface layer which was derived from the variation in the infrared_emission during eclipses ( e.g. , Garstung , 1958 ) .

5. layer [ n ] an abstract place usually conceived as having depthExamples:"a good actor communicates on several levels""a simile has at least two layers of meaning""the mind functions on many strata simultaneously"
